So perhaps the most likely player to join in January is still Victor Lindelof of Benfica. There appears to have been a lot of wrangling over the price of the player and Manchester United’s interest may have cooled to a degree. But the youngster has been left out of Benfica’s match day squads more than once of late, leading to renewed speculation about a move. It also seems clear that Jose Mourinho really likes this guy and could see him as a potential long-term partner for Eric Bailly.

And they could make an amazing partnership. Bailly is a hard man and brilliant stopper who doesn’t muck about – the classic no-nonsense defender.

Meantime Lindelof has more of a passing game and loves to come forward with the ball at his feet in an elegant manner.

He’s a very exciting player and TFF still thinks that he is the most likely one to sign in this transfer window.

Let’s have a look at him in action. Manchester United fans – do you need him?
